Had some gold saved up and blew it all (120k, small potatoes). The only thing interesting I got was Knight's Second. Which is only interesting in that I guess it is the highest level shield. The enchantment doesn't seem that great to me, but what do I know. I still need the two shields below it ... Isawhatever and Revered Defender.
Lego
Tried to do a little leveling for Con over the weekend. Using Payback+, Shield Bash+, Counterstrike, Shield Wall. Don't know if I should swap out something for more damage. I have the Hakkon sword so I haven't bothered with Walking Fortress on him since getting that.
Besides the usual (Flow of Battle, Bear Mauls the Wolves), what passives are worth getting? I vaguely remember something about the armor buff passives working in an odd manner (for flanking), but can't remember if that was fixed or if the math is odd with them.
I had been running Stinking Cheater as the shield partly for 5% crit chance and partly for novelty (although the poison DOT seems really slow). I was toying with the idea of going back to Dwarven Proving or March for damage bonus. Any suggestions?
Reaver
I tried a build without using War Horn and it seemed terrible. Not a question so much as an observation. If only I had more crit chance.
I tried out Swift Great Axe with as much crit damage bonus as I could put on it, and it didn't seem too far off the Dragon Maul damage wise with the bonus that auto attacks aren't nearly as annoying, and in solo I could hit a bunch of enemies at once if needed.
I actually have Stone Breaker (from book reward I guess it was), I need to try that again. Before I went on hiatus there must have been a reason I didn't like it over Dragon Maul but can't figure out what that would have been exactly, unless the crits weren't as high.
Katari
I also played some matches with this guy. I was working to Pommel+, Charging Bull, Combat Roll+, Mighty Blow+ build, but it really seems like I hack at the enemies forever. Guess Silent Sister and Reaver have spoiled me. I did manage to panic myself, which you can't do on the others so that is something.
I guess he was left behind a bit (despite guard buff). Any better suggestions for a build on him?

Lego build is nice, but since you don't have 100% crit chance you can't utilize Flow of Battle to its full potential. I would suggest to swap Counterstrike for upgraded Walking Fortress, because when Hakkon procs WF it will behave the same way as you activated WF yourself; you will gain guard and you can save WF for times you need it the most and it has much lower cooldown time. Or, you can swap Shield Wall for WF. Bulwark passive is good since it will raise amount of your guard. As for shields, wait until you have Isatunoll; when paired with Hakkon, you can get WF procs from both at the same time and can gain double amount of guard, or they can proc one after another and you will have WF for 10 seconds; if you have upgraded WF of course.  Stick with Warhorn on Reaver until you get 100% crit chance, same reasons as above. Katari... As you rise your stats he will be more and more enjoyable. To clarify weapon procs. If you have upgraded ability that your weapon has, weapon proc will behave same way as if you triggered that ability. Example: if you have Isana's Song on Keeper or AW and have upgraded Chain Lighting. I hope that I explained this right. |

Speaking of crit chance, is it Cunning/2 or (Cunning-10)/2? I thought back in the day everyone said you are at 100% at 200 cunning, but if it is the latter, that should be 210 (not counting gear or build or innate). Or were they counting build + innate stats?

Yeah, so I had posted in the accomplishment thread a while back that I got the Dancer's Axe in a chest. I had tried it out a little at the time on the Katari, which made that guy a bit more fun.
I got around to using it on the Reaver, and damn if she doesn't feel ridiculous with it. I had a really smooth Level 6 Perilous solo (Vents) with it. ROP, Rampage, Devour, Mighty Blow. Gets better as she goes. Seems like the main thing that annoyed me with her (melee blocks) is nearly completely moot. Still annoying to try and chase panicked enemies without Rampage active, but c'est la vie.
On the Lego, the last run to 20 I ended up using something like the "Flying Dwarf" build with Payback Strike+, Shield Bash+, Lunge N Slash+ and Shield Wall, with Walking Fortress+ taken for the procs on the sword. Also had switched out the shield for Magehunter just for more guard.
I also ran my Templar up from 11-20. Hadn't played her for a while, but gave her Magehunter as well. It was a WomboCombo build with Payback Strike+ and Shield Wall. While it is fine, I miss Shield Bash on it, and I don't know if I like giving up Shield Wall since I can animation cancel better with it than shift on 1H. Considering maybe dropping WoH. Wombos can crit for like 10k damage for me, which is cool, but I don't know if it is necessary. If I did that, I guess I could still run Spell Purge+, but I am not sure.
